Eating and Drinking around Camping La Brouquere
Baquettes and croissants Franse baguettes, every day fresh.....Both bakeries in Gondrin challenge each other every day to make the best baquettes and most delicious croissants. During the peak season you can place your bread orders even at the campsite. Early next morning the fresh bread will be ready for you to be picked up.
 
Camping snacks The campsite offers of course a wide choice of hot and cold snacks. Icecream for the children (and yourself of course) but also snacks with less calories and more vitamines are on the menu...
 
Table d'Hôte Regularly dinner parties called Table d'Hote are organised on the campsite. Together with your host and hostess you can enjoy a 3-course meal in a friendly atmosphere.
 
Regional specialties foie gras, confit, cotes de gascogne, armagnac.....The Gers offers a wide selection of regional specialties of which probably 'foie gras' is the most famous. You can enjoy these regional dishes in Restaurant Le Pardaillan in Gondrin or the stylish restaurant of Chateau Fources.
 
Traditional regional Gersois breakfast Frans ontbijt bij Ferme de Cassou.....Each friday morning Ferme de Cassou (just a few hundred meters from the campsite) serves a special breakfast. Guests (mainly French tourists) can enjoy an extensive breakfast featuring probably all regional dishes as well as the local alcoholic beverages. If you speak just a little bit French than this will be a very memorable breakfast amidst the French in a very French environment. Although called 'breakfast' you won't return until somewehere in the afternoon....
 
Wine and Armagnac tasting From your tent or caravan you can enjoy the great view over the Armagnac vineyards of the Gers (Gascony). Clearly, you don't have to go far to get a taste of the Armagnac, this golden liquid from the Gers. A visit to 'Domaine de Bourret' and 'Ferme de Cassou', both just a few hundred meters from the campsite, is highly recommended.
Many historic castles such as Chateau Busca-Maniban include wine and Armagnac tasting in their guided tours (without any obligations).
